How I Reversed My Food Allergies with Probiotics

I cured my gluten intolerance in my 20s. In this post, I’ll share with you how I did it by changing my diet and taking therapeutic grade probiotics.

Diagnosed with Arthritis at 26

When I was 26 years old, I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, a degenerative disease that doctors could do nothing to heal. They offered me drugs for the pain, and said the only thing that I could do is have surgery.

But they couldn’t cure it. I was told that I would probably end up in a wheelchair one day. Not fun to hear when you’re only in your 20s.

In addition to the arthritis, I also suffered from chronic fatigue, chronic sinus infections and seasonal allergies, and chemical sensitivities.

What is Leaky Gut Syndrome?

Instead of just accepting what the doctors told me and going the conventional route of drugs and surgery, I went to the library to research alternatives. Eventually, I discovered that my problem was my immune system. It’s a condition called Leaky Gut Syndrome.

Here’s how leaky gut works… When we don’t have adequate good bacteria in our digestive tract, we don’t secrete the enzymes to break down complex carbohydrates. These undigested carbohydrates cause pathogenic bacteria to grow. As pathogenic bacteria increases, their toxic waste proliferates.

In the gang wars going on in your gut, the good guys are losing and the bad guys have the upper hand. The good bacteria are so busy trying to deal with the onslaught of pathogens and toxins, they don’t have the ability to protect the gut lining, which causes gut damage (also known as “leaky gut”).

Leaky gut is surprisingly common. It affects a significant number of adults and children, including most (if not all) people afflicted by ADHD, Crohn’s disease, celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and asthma.

How I Reversed My Food Allergy with Diet and Probiotics

Once I learned that the root of my problems was a leaky gut and abnormal gut flora, I started on my journey to healing my gut.

I started by going on an elimination diet for 4 weeks. An elimination diet means you remove all possible allergens from your diet: all grains, all sugars, all dairy, eggs, beans, and starches. For 4 weeks, I basically ate non-starchy vegetables, meat and fish.

And you know what happened? 100% of my symptoms disappeared — just like that! I felt like a million bucks!

But I knew I couldn’t eat such a restricted diet forever… I missed pizza and bread and cheese! (You know how I love my cheese…)

So I started reintroducing the allergens one at a time (one new food every 3-4 days, just like you do with a baby starting solids). First I tried eating a small amount of dairy. No reaction. Then I tried eating more dairy the next day — nothing. No return of symptoms.

I had no problems with eggs, beans, starches, rice and other grains… But when I ate gluten (wheat), I reacted. My symptoms came flooding back — itchy nose and mouth and eyes, sneezing, drowsiness and fatigue, arthritis pain, thrush on my tongue. Same thing happened when I ate sugar.

So I stayed off sugar and gluten and started taking therapeutic grade probiotics to help heal my gut.

After making the lifestyle changes that included eating nutrient rich real food, as well as supplementing my diet with therapeutic grade probiotics, I was able to reverse my gluten intolerance and reaction to sugar. It took about 2 years.

99% of Food Allergies Can Be Cured

Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride is a medical doctor and nutritionist whose three-year-old son was diagnosed with autism. According to all the “experts,” this was an incurable condition. But Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride cured her son of his autism. She says that 99% of food allergies can be reversed with diet and probiotics.

Dr. Campbell-McBride refused to accept fate as handed down by her son’s doctors, and like me, began to do her own research. Eventually she began to see a direct link between a number of disorders (learning disorders, psychological disorders, eczema, asthma, allergies, etc.) and digestion.

By changing her son’s diet and getting him on quality probiotics, his prognosis changed and his autism was reversed.

Not All Probiotics Work

What I didn’t learn until much later is that not all probiotics work.

After my daughter was born 6 years ago, my doctor prescribed birth control pills. I didn’t think anything of it and started taking them. About 6 months later, I started experiencing all the old symptoms again — stiff and painful joints, seasonal allergies, thrush on my tongue, fatigue…

I did not know this at the time, but the birth control pill kills the good gut flora that keeps your digestive tract healthy. Needless to say, I stopped taking the pills, and then went to work to repair my gut again.

I went straight to the health food store and bought some probiotics. I also eliminated gluten and sugar from my diet.

Thirty days later, after avoiding gluten and sugar and taking the probiotics religiously, I still had all my symptoms.

You may have found this to be the case as well. You might have tried taking probiotics and they didn’t work for you. It very well may be the brand of the probiotics you are taking.

Around that time, I read the book Louder Than Words: A Mother’s Journey in Healing Autism by Jenny McCarthy. (Highly recommended!) In the book, Jenny told the story of how she reversed her son’s autism by keeping him off gluten (wheat) and casein (dairy) and giving him therapeutic grade probiotics.

After reading that book, I realized maybe I should try the brand of probiotics she used with her son. You couldn’t find this brand at the health food stores — it is only sold online. So I ordered the brand she recommended and guess what happened? Within THREE days of taking it, my symptoms were GONE. (See below for brands of probiotics that are therapeutic grade.)

That’s when I knew that not all probiotics work. You see, back when I was in my 20s, my naturopathic doctor was special-ordering the probiotics I was taking. These were not your run of the mill store-bought probiotics.

Where to Find Therapeutic Grade Probiotics

I only know of a few brands that are therapeutic grade. And, as far as I know, you can’t find them in stores.

How Will You Know the Probiotics Are Working?

If you already have a healthy gut, you are probably not going to experience any changes when you take probiotics. But if you have abnormal gut flora/leaky gut, when you start taking probiotics that are therapeutic grade, you will start to experience either a reduction in symptoms right off the bat, or, more commonly, a condition they call “die off”.

Die off refers to the bad bacteria dying off. It happens when the good bacteria come rushing in and start doing what they are supposed to do — killing off the bad bacteria.

If you experience die off, the best thing to do is slow down with the probiotics. For example, if you are taking one capsule a day, cut back to 1/2, 1/4, or even 1/8 capsule a day. (The therapeutic grade capsules are all powder in a capsule, so you can ration it.)

The gut ecosystem is very complex. I’m guessing that besides some brands being better than other, there’s also the question of finding the right probiotic for the right person. I wonder if there’s any way to do this other than trial and error.

I would so love to fix my sensitivity to my favorite cheeses. It’s unrequited love. I love Parmesan, but he doesn’t love me back.

Great article and boy would I love to think that it’s true for me. Do you know what the exceptions are? I’m going to assume that anyone with a true allergy……stops breathing when they eat peanuts – cannot heal that.
I was also curious about the circumstances when you add heavy metal toxicity and or candida to leaky gut syndrome? And then there are fatigued adrenals – messed up hormones……it can feel like one big ball of wax! However, I’m glad you found a way to be able to enjoy the food you like. I can only hope that one day I will feel well again

Hi Cheeseslave, have you heard of resistant starch? A common source is uncooked potato, or cold cooked potato. There are some discussions about RS encouraging the growth of beneficial microbes. May be more powerful in repopulating the gut than probiotics.

You said it took 2 years to reintroduce gluten and sugar. Could you explain exactly what you did during that period? Did you keep trying? Did you introduce low doses?
I discovered I was reacting to corn (headaches, muscle spasm, feverish. typical 3-4 day allergen reaction) After cutting it out of my diet for 2 years, I became allergic to wheat and soy. I am also sugar free for inflammation reasons, not because it bothers me that I know of – I’ve been off for 2 years. I have been off of corn for almost 4 years, and wheat and soy for almost a year. I still react to them. I also get immediate hive reactions to lots of different foods. My gut flora is excellent. It has been tested by a holistic allergist. I take probiotics, eat fermented foods and a completely clean diet. Any advice would be appreciated. There are about 20 foods I can safely eat right now.
thanks,

Hey Ann Marie! I purchased this ecourse when you first offered it a couple years ago. I haven’t been able to log in recently and have been trying to contactyou about it.Can you email me so I can get my log in fixed? Thank you!

Our family takes biokult. My husband has had no reaction (but also has a healthy gut and no food sensitivities). The kids and I get little red bumps all over our body if we don’t go REALLY slow. It’s tempting to just start taking one a day in hopes of getting further down the road to recovery, but the rashes keep us from going full speed ahead. Has anybody else had trouble with this?

I had an issue where the vision in my right eye would intermittently get blurry, at first it seemed to be happening after eating certain foods (so i was experimenting with removing foods like gluten, casein, corn, etc), but then I noticed it was happening right after waking up in a fasted state. I couldn’t figure out why. My eye dr couldn’t figure out why my vision was changing. This wasn’t blood sugar related.

After experimenting, I noticed that the problem would clear up for almost an entire day when I would take something like cat’s claw or olive leaf extract. After spening some quality time with Dr Google, I was starting to think that maybe I had issues with gut dysbiosis.

Yup. The blurry vision problem went away after a few days of taking one capsule daily of Prescript-Assist, a probiotic consisting of soil based organisms.

Fermented foods are great and can be very helpful for some peeps, but I’m really starting to think that they are played up way too much as THE probiotic source for everyone to be consuming. If you are not benefiting from lactic acid producing fermented foods and probiotics, maybe try some soil based organisms and see if that helps.

I highly doubt you can fix a severe peanut allergy with this, just normal food intolerances. I react even when peanut dust is in the air, which has nothing to do with the gut. I wish I knew a good way to fix it…

This info is really exciting. It would be awesome to reverse my husband’s and my dairy allergy. I do have one question, though- what about celiac disease? Can that be reversed, or just a gluten intolerance?

What you are describing are food ‘intolerances’, NOT allergies. Using the wrong terminology can very dangerous! Parents may get the impression that they can cure their kids food ‘allergies’ with pro-biotics, and end up killing them. Food allergies are an immune disorder, and currently have no cure. I would hate for anyone to be hurt from this misunderstanding.

I actually heard that someone gave advice to a person which crohns disease and the advice was to soak potatos in water and then drink the water. the person then felt much better and was able to go off many of the meds she was taking! I guess this may be the reason why! so cool

Hi,
I was wondering what your relationship is with the makers of Three-Lac? You state at the bottom of your posts that you sometimes receive compensation, which is wonderful. But I am really asking because Three-Lac contains GMOs and wondered if you made the suggestion of this product because you really do like it or if this is one of the promotional situations. I ordered this product recently because I have only read good things about it, but after it came I looked at the ingredients list and decided to give them a call. They were upfront and forth coming with the information, unlike Juice Plus which decided that I needed an education that GMOs were fine and they couldn’t remove them because the product would be too expensive for their customers, (I tell all my friends about them). Three-Lac told me it is included in the Pre-biotic portion of the product that feeds the pro-biotics. Still I decided that the product wasn’t for me but sits under my cabinet because I had a hard time tossing $50 in the garbage. But now that you bring it up I thought I would ask you your opinion on the matter. Please let me know what you think.

I was wondering about the GMO’s too! I looked at the ingredient list on Amazon and saw canola oil! Why in the world does it have to have canola oil in it! Interesting to know that they also feed the prebiotics. I wouldn’t have even thought of that. I just e-mailed them to let them know my disappointment and that I couldn’t use their product because of it. I’m disappointed because I have some yeast issues currently and it gets such good reviews! It’s not worth the other damage it would do to my body though.

Hi! Loving your site. I have been wanting to overhaul my diet for the past year, and started in March by eliminating gluten. It has helped to improve my mood and some fatigue, but my eczema and and anxiety are still there. I’m pretty sure I have leaky gut and want to go on the GAPS diet. I have been using a raw probiotic and vitamin and it seems to be working okay, but not great, however I’m still eating some dairy. It’s the one from Garden of Life. Do you know that one and could recommend it? Thanks!

Hi.
I’m not trying to be rude, but as someone who has lived with food allergies for over 5 years, I feel that what you’re talking about is an intolerance. There is a HUGE difference between an intolerance (which can be “cured”) and an allergy (which can be outgrown in small children). Allergic reactions don’t just happen in the intestines, they can happen anywhere in the body. In my case, corn makes my entire respiratory system swell and bloat. It doesn’t even have to be ingested for that to happen. My body goes into “attack mode” on itself when I ingest it, but corn starch in the air and even being in a corn field sends my sinuses and breathing into haywire. So please consider that 99% is such a high number that you may give false hope to those newly diagnosed with true allergies, may have to live with them. And that realization is a hard one to accept.

Allergies have to do with the immune system. 80% of the health of the immune system is derived from the gut. Even if one has a true allergy to a food, healing and nourishing the gut can make a significant impact on the body’s overall health.

Hi Ann! Very interesting post – thank you for the info! I have a question for you though. I have mild allergies and intolerances to gluten, soy, and refined sugars. I also have asthma and ezcema. And I have endometriosis and interstitial cystitis. My husband and I want to start trying for a baby by this time next year, but until then, to keep my severe endometriosis from rearing its ugly head, I need to stay on my high-dose birth control pills. If I were to start taking the theraputic grade probiotics now, without stopping my bc pills, will it still help with my leaky gut? I realize it probably won’t go away yet because of the pills, but if it would help even a little bit with my other issues and symptoms, I am very willing to try it. Please let me know what you think. Thanks!

Allergies are more severe than sensitivities or intolerances, but they are still a (hyper)reaction of the immune system. 80% of your immune system is in your gut, so even severe allergies depend a TON on gut health. It all comes down to the gut!

I am confused. How can you recommend the ThreeLac probiotic? It contains casein which my son and I need to avoid even an amount that is 30ppm per their product statement. And it also contains Canola Oil. Purists don’t want to consume Canola oil because it is genetically engineered, even if it is traditional plant breeding and NOT GMO, it still isn’t pure. Although I do think some of it today has gone the GMO way unless you get organic Canola oil. But also, I need to avoid it because it is a relative to mustard seed and I am allergic to mustard as well as my daughter to mustard and it’s cousin dill. A good thing I always look at the ingredients. Just wanted you to be aware of this for those who have not successfully reversed their allergies yet…

While I agree that probiotics can help with gut issues and I appreciate your article, I think it would be better if you changed your title and similar posts to food INTOLERANCES, not food allergies. A food allergy is an IGE-mediated reaction for which one would also normally test positive through allergy testing such as skin-prick tests and blood tests. Food allergies can result in anaphylaxis and can be life-threatening. A food intolerance is where the body may have a negative reaction to a food that is not IGE-mediated, and it is not life-threatening. It is a huge difference. As the mother of a child with severe food allergies I don’t love articles like this where the title says “99% of food allergies can be cured”, because you are not talking about food allergies and those of us who deal with them already have enough people thinking it’s all in our head or there is some easy fix. Truthfully what you are talking about is food intolerances, and some of the things you are recommending could be dangerous for someone with REAL food allergies to try. For instance, when somebody is prone to food allergies it is dangerous to stop eating certain foods because it can actually CAUSE a food allergy to those things to show up once they reintroduce them because the body may start to view the missing foods as intruders once reintroduced (that is almost straight out of my daughter’s allergist’s mouth). If you could correct your article I would appreciate it. Thanks :).

Doctors aren’t prescribing it because she is talking about food intolerances, not food allergies (even though she stated differently). Food allergies cannot be cured by probiotics, and it is dangeorus that the author suggested that they could.

Yes, but it cannot CURE food allergies and it is dangerous to suggest it could. it is also inaccurate for her to say it cured her daughter’s food allergies when her daughter never had any food allergies. Food intolerances maybe, but it is a completely different thing. You normally won’t die from a food intolerance. You don’t have to give an epi-pen and pray your child makes it to the hospital from an intolerance.

She recommends it because she did not deal with real allergies so she didn’t have to worry about little bits of casein.. Probiotics cannot cure real allergies. She incorrectly called food intolerances food allergies. There is a huge difference.

It is very dishonest and dangerous to title your post as you have. As others have said, true food allergies are tremendously different than the food intolerances you describe. I understand your point that the majority of the immune system is in the gut (although I doubt the percentage given). However, if someone has a true food allergy that is systemic, probiotics and slowly re-introducing foods are not immediately going to halt true food allergies. Anyone with serious food allergies that attempts your protocol above and dies or ends up in the ER should sue you.

My husband has the ‘new’ food allergy to mammalian food products (meats, cheeses, and even minuscule amounts of contaminates). This allergy is different than most and is a reaction to a sugar (alpha galactose) not a protein. It can be truly deadly and entirely unexpected (it’s a delayed reaction 2-6 hours after ingestion). Allergists who’ve studied this allergy their whole lives (including those that actually have the allergy) do not claim 99% cure rates. In fact no documented scientific paper would claim a 99% cure. It is irresponsible and downright dangerous to do so.

Actually I discovered there is a cure for true food allergies, I just wouldn’t recommend it.
I use to be so severely allergic to fresh and granulated garlic that even the fumes would shut down my respiratory system. (Garlic powder and garlic salt still made me seriously ill, but apparently what ever I was reacting to was reduced enough my respiratory system was only distressed)
Nine years ago I had to have 2 back to back bone-morrow transplants. Afterwords I discovered my allergy was gone.

I agree! This shows a total lack of understanding of a true allergy. I’m not naive that clean eating will solve my daughter’s anaphylaxis. We already eat clean. If that’s all it took, she wouldn’t have gone to the ER two months ago. Food sensitivity is much different from a true allergy.

That’s not a good basis to not believe Ann’s recommendations are any good. It looks like this blog is her livelihood, in which case, of course she’s going to try and make money from affiliate earnings on the products she recommends.

Regardless, you’ll have to find what works for you, Threelac might not. I do agree that this post should be labeled as ‘intolerance’ rather than ‘allergy’ considering the two are very different.

Reading this has finally given me the hope that I have been needing for the past two and a half years. When I was 23 years old my body changed for the worse, I lost 20lbs, always extremely tired, dizzy to the point I can’t drive and an anxious mess. I learned I had food sensitivities last year by taking a few blood tests that showed I am sensitive to eggs, casein, soy, sunflower, asparagus the list goes on. I found it very hard to believe that someone could be allergic to all of those things. I have cut out dairy and eggs, eat soy occasionally and I still feel horrible. My dizziness is getting unbearable and has sent me into a few panic attacks. I’m 25 years old and I just want to be like the rest of my friends and have my life back. I am going to fully dedicate myself into healing my gut and I am so hopeful this is going to the answer to my prayers. Thank you so much for posting this and creating a cooking class. It feels good to know you’re not alone and there is a way to get through this.

As someone with a small child with severe food allergies, I am not amused by the claims you make in this blog and it is in fact, dangerous, as others have pointed out.

My son has been on theraputic grade probiotics since birth as I had to have an emergency c section due to complications, so we choose to help his gut populate with healthy bacteria and ideally, help control some eczema symptoms that he suffers from. He eats a diet of breastmilk, organic fruits, vegetables, meats and fish. However, he cannot be cured of said food allergies (that require EPI-pen admission) and he would be lucky if he was able to outgrow all but his nut allergies. The claim that you make that 99% of food allergies can be cured is false, and implies that those of us with children with allergies are not excercising all possible remedies to “cure” something that cannot be cured. Honestly. People are dying, others are discrediting the rising incidence of food allergies calling it all the “allergy hype” and then you post an article like this further downgrading the seriousness of food allergies. It is totally deplorable on all levels.

Lindsey, thank you for putting that out there. Others have done so too without the author ever responding to our protest. I was infuriated when I read this. The first thing that came to my mind was… this is intolerance, not true food allergies. Our 17 year old son has lived with severe (anaphylactic) food allergies to milk and eggs since birth. He doesn’t just get a stomach ache or become bloated when he accidentally ingests an allergen. The author of this blog either needs to remove this or correct the verbiage. Shame on her. She attempts to come across as doing her homework, and yes, perhaps she has “cured” her own INTOLERANCE, however, she needs to be properly educated on this “allergy” subject.

Yes, Leslie D and the others who pointed out this huge, dangerous error. People need to understand the difference between intolerance and true food allergies. I’d like to know why Cheeseslave has not made any statement. If Cheeseslave loves and eats her cheese, it’s obvious she does not have a true allergy to dairy (milk).

Paranoid much? While it is odd that they use canola, the amount in a tiny packet of Threelac has got to be maybe 1/16 of a teaspoon, if that. And if that can ‘damage bodies’ as you suggest, then it wouldn’t have the 300+ positive reviews on Amazon…

I just wanted to say that this post inspired me over a year ago. I have been taking a combination of therapeutic grade probiotics, as well as adding fermented foods to my diet. I’ve had allergies since I was born, by my mid 20s I was reacting terribly to gluten. In fact it disabled me, I literally needed a walking stick. I got better with food restrictions but didn’t heal. After the birth of my 2nd child my allergies were so out of hand I the world was becoming toxic. I couldn’t eat gluten, soy, dairy, coconut, and almonds. On top of this, my kids had terrible allergies too.

A year on and our allergies have healed! I can eat ANYTHING, and so can my kids. It is all thanks to therapeutic probiotics.

I know people on here say it would only work for intolerances, but my gluten reaction was immune based, it showed up on blood tests. This really works, and if it can work for me I don’t think there are many it wouldn’t work for.

I can even have lactose now, that is incredible for me. I sincerely hope others out there give this a go, it is harmless to try (except for anaphylaxis). I also now have a normal immune system, I don’t get every bug that comes my way, and I fight anything I get now quickly.

Can I ask how you determined which probiotics you needed to take? Did you work with a doctor? I’ve read that certain strains are good for certain issues, while those same strains may make problems a lot worse for other things.

I lost faith in doctors many years ago, but I am a Registered Nurse so I was fairly confident with my research. I’ve tried a few over the years but ended up finding one with 10 different strains that can be given to babies too. I believe the difference is the L. Rhamnosus & L. Reuteri, both of these are linked with allergies. I am fortunate that I don’t have some of the problems others seem to have, like a histamine sensitivity, so I didn’t check if that would be a problem or not. I have heard that about probiotics, but my experience was either they did nothing or they would help. This one was the first one to make a significant difference, I don’t believe the fermented food healed, it just supported the process. From my research I did find a high fibre diet was crucial to supporting the process, I don’t have colitis so I haven’t held back with that. My healing journey isn’t complete, while my allergies are healed I haven’t beaten the fungal overgrowth (which you can see in my mouth, certainly not an imagined problem), but I have my vitality back. I believe I am 90% better, and healthier than I have ever been. I do wish others would try this, so many people seem to be sick with one thing or another.

Can you offer any advice for someone who is unablee to digest a lot of un-starchy vegetables and potentially has an allergy to meat? The only thing that doesnt give me stomach pain is starchy food – but the starchy food aggrevates my pain, asthma and joints.
Really lost for answers…
Also have not found a naturopath or any doctor that can help.
Thank you

What I’m suffering from pretty much just like what you’ve described in this article. I was wondering if you could take a quick look at the probiotics used in the product in the link below & tell me these are capable of doing the same thing you’ve done in reversing your allergies.

Great article, do you have any ideas for someone who has to remain on birth control? I was diagnosed with RA at 18 and have endometriosis and many many food reactions which have worsened. I gave up gluten 3 years ago. But i get a birth control injection for my endometriosis and it is extremely valuable to me
Any ideas if this would work if im still on it? i am constantly trial and erroring my diet and i have made headway it has taken a long time but any ideas would be much appreciated thank you

Hey I’ve been looking into the reversing food allergies subject, I’m not allergic to anything but its a great thing to know and your persistence to cure your allergies is very admirable. I do in fact have a sister in law who is technically allergic to everything, she is living a vegan lifestyle but even then she’s still allregic to half the vegetables out there! It breaks my heart and not to mention it worries me that her food resources are so limited, would her case be different or can she cure her allergies?

Thank you for this article. I’ve heard a lot of good things about the gaps diet, but then I hear others such as Matt Stone (180 degree health) say these diets are not good as it lowers your metabolism. I would love to hear your view on this as it totally confuses me hearing these contradictory views.
